At her request, Lord Curzon initiated the establishment of the protected areas in the territory, and in 1905 on an area of ​​232kv km park was created, the main thrust of which was to preserve and increase the population of Indian rhinos. Over time, the area of ​​the reserve has expanded and now has an area of ​​430kv km. The official status of a national park buffer zone was in 1974.
